Team Daniel Chooses 919 Marketing for Marketing Expertise

HOLLY SPRINGS, NC, September 09, 2010 (Press-News.org) 919 Marketing, a nationally-acclaimed marketing and public relations firm, has been selected by Team Daniel, LLC, and The Team Daniel Foundation for the creation and implementation of new marketing strategies, brand development services, and a variety of media relations campaigns. Team Daniel co-founders Denise and John Mercado created both organizations in memory of their son, Danny, who inspired his parents to keep fighting for what is right and fair for all people with developmental disabilities.

Team Daniel, LLC, is an organization that empowers North Carolinians with developmental disabilities and their families to take control of their own personalized care services to provide the highest possible quality of life in a home care environment. Similarly, the Team Daniel Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to informing, educating and improving the lives of North Carolinians with developmental disabilities and the family members that care for them.

919 Marketing will help to create a distinct identity and extend the reach of both organizations through the implementation of unique marketing strategies, media relations tactics and social media/online efforts.

"We looked at a number of local and national marketing firms and none of them had a nonprofit track record as impressive as 919 Marketing's," said Team Daniel co-founder Denise Mercado. "We picked 919 Marketing as our agency of record because they have worked with a variety of nonprofits on the local and national level and they have incredible passion and enthusiasm for our organizations and our cause. They are an impressive firm that consistently generates big ideas that produce results for their clients. I look forward to seeing what they can do for Team Daniel."

Since 919 Marketing was founded in 1996, the firm has worked with a number of nonprofit organizations, including Camp Cope, Tammy Lynn Center, Youth Learning Academy, and Help Wounded Tarheel Troops.

"We are excited to start working with Team Daniel because we've been driving brand recognition and developing fundraising concepts that get results for nonprofit clients for over 14 years - and this is exactly what they need," said 919 Marketing CEO David Chapman. "Team Daniel presents a unique opportunity and a great story to take to market, and the entire 919 team is eager to implement a plan specifically designed to help both organizations reach their goals."
